Description
A cozy and satisfying dish featuring seared steak mixed with creamy, cheesy rice, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- 1 cup queso cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar)
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by dicing the onion and bell pepper, and mincing the garlic. Pat the sirloin dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the skillet over medium-high and add olive oil. When hot, add the steak and sear for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until browned.
- Remove the steak and let it rest. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and bell pepper for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the rice, stirring to coat it with the oil and vegetable flavors, then add spices and stir for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add the queso cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. If thick, add a splash of broth to loosen.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain and fold it into the cheesy rice. Serve hot with desired garnishes.
Notes
For a creamier texture, add a splash of broth. Feel free to customize with different cheeses or add-ins.
